CTMH Australasian Life’s a Hoot Blog Hop.

Hello and welcome aboard our “Life’s a Hoot” Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop.

If you have arrived here from Lauren Moore- CTMH Craftings then you are in the right place.

If you landed here by accident, no problem, welcome and please join in by following the link at the end of this post. A Blog Hop is a big circle of crafty inspiration.

Today I would like to share with you my artwork which features Close to My Heart’s Life’s a Hoot Paper Suite. Full of gorgeous colours like sapphire, Wisteria, Glacier and Lagoon.

This a simple layout that I will use time after time with different paper suites as it is very effective.

The base pages are Glacier and a micro mount of Sapphire and the White Daisy is cut to 11.25 x 11.25 inches.

This nested circle is cut on my Cricut and I enjoyed colouring this cute Stamped image with my Tri-Blend markers

All the little strips are cut from 3 pieces of patterned paper that are 3 x 12 inches long. Each pattern is then cut into 1.75 x 3 strips. The smaller strip is then inked with sapphire ink on all edges. This tip makes a subtle darker edge that allows each patterned piece to stand out in the lineup.
